When the F-14 entered fleet service, there was a noticeable shift in political power projection.

NOTE: This version includes the Extended version! Find more information under upgrade service.

Fifteen seconds was all that was needed to reverse a guns solution with an F-4 on its tail. A radar so powerful that it could burn through jamming signals emitted by other combat aircraft while guiding a missile that fell from 100,000ft at March 5.

The United States had, since the Korean War, favored decreasing the quantity of deployed units while increasing their sophistication and effectiveness. The F-14 was one of the first aircraft that fully embodied this theory, and it reigned supreme over the seas. There was no other aircraft that came close its ability to strike beyond visual range. If F-14`s were patrolling, the carriers were safe and the US could venture into regions that were previously inaccessible. Dictators were suddenly looking out of their seaside palaces knowing a carrier was just over the horizon. These carriers and their new air wings created an era of force projection where the outcome of political events could be influenced without a combat engagement.

The Aerosoft F-14 Extended was designed with two principle objectives. The first was to create an authentic and detailed representation about what it was like to fly the early model F-14`s and the refinements made over the first 20 years of the airframe`s service life. The second was to create an accessible simulation for all users. While many of the advanced systems will require you to RTFM to operate effectively, anyone can be in the air within seconds of loading the sim (well maybe a little longer if you`re setting up a carrier launch). While failure logic, such as engine compressor stalls are included, they will not become active and take out an engine unless you enable the feature.

The only thing you can`t simplify are the flight mechanics. Not a single tester or developer was un-challenged when attempting to trap this bird. But, the physics are consistent and based on real world data. As you learn why the F-14 does or does not respond the way you think it should, your intuition of flight mechanics will be become more sophisticated. Simply put, if you learn to fly this aircraft with a serious perspective, you will become a better pilot.

Final word. One of the defining aspects of this project has been an almost unyielding sense of collaboration from outside development houses, retired military personnel, and a group of dedicated F-14 fanatics that have been willing to advise and test over many long hours to make this a project a reality. Thank you and salute!

Keep in mind this is a high complexity add-on, intended for experienced users.

All displays have the authentic F-14A type symbology and functionality is programmed according to the NATOPS Manual

Engine Management (TF-30)

Compressor stalls (aero): Poor management of the aircraft will result in random compressor stalls which can induce a dreaded flat spin. Stall algorithm is random; stalls will onset, clear, and engine restarts based on a continuous supply of random numbers, while aircraft state (Altitude, Mach, Angle of Attack, and Sideslip) as well as aircraft configuration increase or decrease the chances of pitfalls and recoveries

Compressor Stalls (throttle): Rapid throttle movements in the IDLE region can saturate the combustion chamber and stall a compressor

Engine Fires: Hot starts and compressor stalls dump fuel into the combustion chamber even though no thrust is being generated. Exceeding a transient temperature limit for critical time or heating beyond an absolute limit will cause the blades to melt and the engine will be lost

Sump Tanks: Turbines are directly supplied by gravity fed sump tanks which only hold a combined 600lbs of fuel. Negative G maneuvers and high thrust settings can starve the engines in a hurry

Every control surface moves on the visual model and within the flight model according to underlying hydraulic system, with realistic gains, rate limits, and damping.

Maneuver Flaps: Both automatic and pilot controlled (separate system from main flaps)o Glove Vanes: Extend with Maneuver Flaps at sweep angles greater than 25° and also at very high Macho Approach Auto Throttle: The F-14 is a notoriously difficult plane to land, Approach AutoThrottle maintains the aircraft at optimum AoA

Direct Lift Control: Pilots can toggle a partial extension of the inboard spoilers to adjust AoA during approach

Ground Roll AeroBrake: When armed, Inboard and Outboard spoilers fully extend with weight on wheel and throttles at Idle

Built from scratch Autopilot with Control Stick Steering in Pitch and Bank Hold Modes

Vector mode follows a loaded flight Plan

Auto Carrier Landing System combines with Auto Throttle for a hands free carrier landing. 2D Alignment gauge for AFCS can be used give precise feedback on ACLS lineup

Flight Mechanics

Thoroughly tested by retried Fleet F-14 pilots and a software engineer involved with a professional F-14 simulation. Performance and control response & stability data were sourced and matched as closely as possible to NATOPS and NASA technical archives

The F-14`s notorious flat spin has been recreated along with the `Hoser` method of spin recovery

Built from scratch Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS) which can be applied to any naval aircraft using the Kitty Hawk

11 moving carrier tracks from around the world centered around on historically significant locations. Each track has a corresponding saved flight which allows users to load the simulation directly on a moving carrier.

Conclusion by PCFlight.net:"In conclusion this aircraft in terms of quality and realism. If your looking for a really nice interceptor aircraft then this is definitely the aircraft for you, For the price of £27 it's perfect."

Conclusion by Flightsim.com:"The F-14 has very smooth performance on my system and at no times did I experience stuttering. I think Aerosoft lived up to the features they've described, which are abundant. The different models of the F-14, with exact specifications of the differences modelled, included extensive features of aircraft and weapons systems and extra features, make this product a large package. It is well worth its purchase price and I think my favorite non-weapon use of this airplane is practicing carrier takeoff/landings, which has to be one of the hardest types of flying. This recreation of a fighter airplane will turn out to be a test of your piloting skills (if not increasing them) and is a sim-airplane worthy of trying!"

Conclusion by simFlight.com: "I for one are very happy to have a Tacpack compatible F-14 Tomcat available for FSX and P3D. And it certainly doesn’t disappoint in the quality department, performing equally well in either sim. The visuals are great, and the flight dynamics fantastic. But on the other hand, I think this product could do with a little more polishing on several aspects. Unfortunately, the promised service packs (apart from the first one) have not materialised yet. So, my final opinion: a very good product and an aircraft I love to have in my virtual hangar. Some small fixes and refinements, and it’ll be great. I’m very happy with what this development team has produced, and I’m looking forward to what these talented individuals bring us in the future."

Conclusion by c-aviation.net:"It is the best plane that I installed in 2014. Aerosoft’s F-14 boasts great 3d model and graphics, extraordinary systems and the realism seen only in the best add-ons for Flight Simulator X. It is a must-have for every warbird enthusiast. It took a well deserved place on my favorite planes list. I described my impressions and I tried to give you the best information about this plane I could. I pointed to several flaws. It was not meant to discourage you, but to show you where I fount them – mostly in features or systems that military planes in FSX do not have at all. This are the features that I associate with a dedicated military simulators like a Falcon BMS or DCS. What if you are just interested in air combat? That is also a plane for you. It will make you learn. It will be a challenge. And it will give you a lot of fun when you master it."

* Please note that many of the features (carrier operations etc.) are only usable for users of FSX Gold, FSX Acceleration, FSX Steam and Prepar3D. These functionswill not work on FSX SP2 (that’s the original released FSX with the two Service Packs).

**Note** The updated ‘F-14 Extended’ is a free new version to all current users that was created with the assistance of three F-14 drivers. It includes not only many new functions but also makes many existing functions more realistic. Please note that the DVD includes the previous F-14 X. The Extended version for owners of the download version is available as a full new built on the order history page in your account. Owners of the boxed version will find it in our update database.
